Still haven't forgiven them for hiring a cop who used their equipment to do surveillance.

What did they hire him for? Doesn't feel very clear about that.

They hired him as a maker-in-residence, whatever that means. I took it to mean brand ambassador, but it may be more than that. Maybe he gives feedback on designs. Regardless, it was gross, and their response to criticism was inexcusable.

Jeff Geerling sounded familiar; he's the guy that tends to make Pi-related videos on YT (under a channel with his name).
